Long Journey Home - Banjo - Folk song

Long Journey Home is a traditional folk song. The Monroe Brothers, Flat and Scruggs and Doc Watson have all recorded Bluegrass versions of this song. I`m most partial to the Josh Turknett "ClawhammerBrainjo" version. HIGHLY recommend his channel if you like banjo music and/or want to learn how to play the banjo.

Long Journey Home - lyrics
Clawhammer banjo or Two finger thumb lead
Mountain banjo tuned down to low D tuning (G tuning only much lower)

Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
I’m on my long journey home

Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain
Looks like rain, boys, looks like rain
Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain
I’m on my long journey home

It’s dark and a raining and I want to go home
Want to go home, boys, want to go home
Its dark and a raining and I want to go home
I’m on my long journey home

Homesick and lonesome and I’m feeling kind of blue
Feeling kind of blue, boys, feeling kind of blue
Homesick and lonesome and I’m feeling kind of blue
I’m on my long journey home

There’s black smoke a rising and it surely is a train
Surely is a train boys, surely is a train
There’s black smoke a rising and it surely is a train
I’m on my long journey home
